Judge OKs Mo. school's ban on clothes with Confederate flag

A federal district court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by three high school students who were punished for wearing Confederate symbols to school.

Farmington High School student Bryce Archambo wore a hat in September with a picture of the Confederate flag and the words "C.S.A., Rebel Pride, 1861." School officials made him take off the hat, but Archambo returned the next day wearing a T-shirt and belt buckle with a Confederate flag image and the words "Dixie Classic." He was sent home after refusing to remove or cover the images. His mother withdrew him from the school that day, and he filed suit against the school district in November.
